Details on my RV solar configuration
26’ Travel trailer (Rockwood Mini Lite 2509s)
Six 100 Watt roof mounted Polycrystalline Solar panels. (HQST)
Panels are wired in parallel pairs (2P3S)
Victron SmartSolar 150/35 charger with BlueTooth battery sensor
2000 watt pure sine wave inverter (Renogy)
Inverter is ‘hard wired’ to an Automatic Transfer Switch (Go Power)
Used switches or breakers to isolate the various components.
Replaced the standard RV Converter with one that supports Lithium (Wildkat)
Built two 280ah batteries using EVE cells. (Moved the batteries from the tongue of the trailer to the pass through storage to shift some weight off the tongue)
Using two of the 120ah SmartBMS's wired in parallel
Used 8 gauge wire for solar panels
Used 1/0 wire for all battery, charger, and inverter wiring (Even replaced the wires running from the RV power converter)
Was a lot of work…but, very pleased with the results so far.
